    This is the part falling off

    This Cinco Auto could kill you!!! I were planning go to Vegas and CA. Before the trip I decided do oil change and check everything! His name is Jim helped me。 He recommended do break oil , air sth so total cost me around 380 . Next day I am on the trip the engine' aluminum cover fall off one side. He did not put the part back very well. I have to find the auto shop removed the cover so I can still drive. When I arrived Vegas, I spent 450 $ for replace the cover! It's nightmare for me! All my family came here got oil change , it's been over two years! Never ever again.

    The $630 'job' Cinco Auto quoted me VS the $200 job I received at another shop for the same part and labor.

    SAVE YOUR MONEY, and don't come here. Trust me, I get it. People pay for convenience and a 'nice' auto shop, but they will overcharge the sh!t out of you! My window recently stopped working, and it was rolled down all the way (which is not gonna fly in this heat). So, I did a quick Yelp search and found Cinco Auto. I called to see if I could come in for them to take a look at it. They said come on by. Great, right? The interior of the shop is clean-nice chairs, and TV, and a great waiting room. Staff seemed nice. It took them 10 minutes to look at my window, and they show me a quote for $650! The part was only labeled as $97, but the labor was $500?!!?! They told me it would be a 'quick fix' and only take an hour to get it done. So, they're charging $500 an hour for labor?!?! I almost choked on my spit!!! Then come to find out, the diagnostics price is $120 (which was never mentioned or said over the phone). I've heard $75-95 for diagnostics by $120 for a 10-minute look at my window? These mechanics must be living lavish with the kind of money they're making here, and their customers are idiots for paying! When I told them I'll take my business elsewhere to shop for prices, they looked at me like I was an idiot and told me that was a standard price for the service (and since I drive a BMW anywhere would be expensive). I ended up going to a shop off Beltway 8 (yes a little drive), but I only paid $200 for the entire job in under an hour of work. Unless you got G's to blow, I wouldn't come here :)

This caused a significant oil leak that I only recently discovered, resulting in oil spread through the engine compartment and a large puddle on my garage floor. Unaware of the cause, I took my car immediately to my long-term mechanic. He replaced the washer with the proper part, cleaned up oil in the engine area, drained/saved what he could, topped it off, and charged a reasonable $146.

I'm extremely disappointed with my experience at Christian Brothers Automotive. I first brought my car in on 6/24/2025 for vibration on the front passenger side. I spoke with Robby Stahmer, who diagnosed the issue as worn struts and recommended replacing both the front and rear struts for a total of $2,433.07. But when I picked up my car, the vibration was still there--and now there was a clacking noise too. Over the next few weeks, I returned several times, only to be told something different each visit. I paid another $677.03 for a control arm ball joint after being reassured it would finally fix the issue by Robby Stahmer. It didn't. A technician, Edgar later admitted he still heard the same noise and suggested different parts, but management told me I'd have to pay all over again, even though the original problem was never resolved. I've now spent $3,110.10, and my car is in the same condition as day one. The owner promised to follow up on 7/23/2025, but months later I still haven't heard a word. I feel ignored, misled, deceived and deeply frustrated. I'm asking for a full refund for repairs that didn't fix anything.

Immediately I was confused since he than begin talking about replacing valve covers due to "Houston Heat" and I even mentioned that it sounding like I just needed a new starter. I told him that we can get a quote for one valve cover and remove/replace starter. He originally quoted me over $1500 and gave me a pamphlet that goes over payment options. I feel like since I was a female and had a nice car that the shop was trying to take advantage. I then took my car to a local shop and had the starter replaced for $150 which solved the issue. Please be assertive and careful with these shops!
